needs to be or'ed to the address specification), "uncached" is assumed.
* Set the memory type for the "BIOS" and "DMA" areas to write-back. Not sure, if
that's correct, but that's what was effectively used on my machines before.
* Changed x86_set_mtrrs() and the CPU module hook to also set the default memory
type.
* Rewrote the MTRR computation once more:
- Now we know all used memory ranges, so we are free to extend used ranges
into unused ones in order to simplify them for MTRR setup.
- Leverage the subtractive properties of uncached and write-through ranges to
simplify ranges of any other respectively write-back type.
- Set the default memory type to write-back, so we don't need MTRRs for the
RAM ranges.
- If a new range intersects with an existing one, we no longer just fail.
Instead we use the strictest requirements implied by the ranges. This fixes
#5383.
Overall the new algorithm should be sufficient with far less MTRRs than before
(on my desktop machine 4 are used at maximum, while 8 didn't quite suffice
before). A drawback of the current implementation is that it doesn't deal with
the case of running out of MTRRs at all, which might result in some ranges
having weaker caching/memory ordering properties than requested.

therefore does not unlock anymore while iterating over the transactions.
This gave other threads the opportunity to finish a transaction, causing
bug #5412. Also, the BlockWriter will now always close transactions on its
own, and you need to pass the transaction hash iterator to Add().
* Also, transactions that contain blocks that are currently written back will
be ignored by the block writer, as well as cache_sync_transaction(). This
fixes bug #5415.
* Improved error handling if BlockWriter fails to write back blocks. Most
notably, they are no longer left busy_writing, and the functions calling
it do proper error reporting (besides block_cache_discard() that does not
return any erro code; I've added a TODO note there for now).
* The BlockWriter now starts with a larger array once it has to allocate one.
* One can now limit the number of blocks that go into a BlockWriter. This is
used by the block writer thread, that shouldn't always write back everything
every two seconds.
* Also, the fixed array is larger now (leaving enough space such that the
block writer/notifier does not need to allocate anything).
* And finally, if allocating the array fails, the BlockWriter falls back to the
synchronous write back used previously. IOW it will never write back less
blocks than you ask for.
* Added static BlockWriter::WriteBlock() method replacing write_cached_block().
* Forgot to rename block_cache::busy_count to busy_reading_count.

* Fix the TimeFormat API, there was a double free. Make it work as expected : you send it a number of seconds and it will format it properly in days, hours, minutes, seconds with proper plural.
* Cleanup other parts of the Format API from useless things. They may get reintroduced later if we feel the need to do so.
* AboutSystem now use TimeFormat to display the uptime in properly localized way.

arch_timer_set_hardware_timer(). This was harmless, at least with our
current x86 timers implementation, since they checked for minimum timeouts.
Very small cleanup (now that the file is compiled as C++).

particular it wouldn't set the flag when writing something to a page, but
only move it to the modified queue. Since mapping the page would move it to
another queue, the information that the page was modified would be lost and
it would never be written to disk. Was well reproducible with a Haiku image
build and limited amount of memory.
Fixes the hopefully last remaining cause for #5374.

* full_scan_inactive_pages(): Fixed syntactical glitch (missing "else").
Affected only the active paging mode and was relatively harmless. The worst
case would be that an inactive page would be moved to the cached queue
although its usage_count hadn't dropped to 0 yet, thus freeing it before
pages that deserved it more.
* move_page_to_active_or_inactive_queue():
- Was ignoring the page's modified flag, thus potentially moving a modified
page to the cached queue. That could happen only in rare cases though,
like when the page was still mmap()ped while being written and modified and
unmapped before being done.
- No longer move the page to the inactive queue, even if its usage count is 0.
In idle mode the page daemon doesn't look at inactive pages, so the page's
stats wouldn't be updated anymore.
- Renamed to move_page_to_appropriate_queue().

inactive pages to the active queue. This has the advantage that the page
daemon will keep track of those pages even in idle mode (where it only
processes the active queue).

Unset() the header in Allocate() before calling it. This fixes bug #5410.

* Use the same criterion when to write back temporary pages as the page daemon.
* Move wired and temporary pages that shall not be written back to the active or
inactive queue so they don't get stuck in the modified queue and potentially
cause the page writer to run permanently without actually making progress
(#5382).
page writing implementation:
* If writing back a temporary page failed, move it back to the inactive or
active queue, so it doesn't get stuck in the modified queue. If active paging
continues, it might find its way back to the modified queue in the next
iteration, but that improves the situation a bit at least. Particularly with
the port heap pages not really being swappable ATM.
* Never dequeue pages from the modified queue. We mark them busy, so the page
writer will skip them anyway. This allows others to play with the page to some
extend (at least allowing to move it between the queues). This fixes#5404.
* Removed PageWriteWrapper::ClearModifiedFlag(). We clear the modified flag in
PageWriteWrapper::SetTo(), now, so that the page writer doesn't need to do
that explicitly either.

well as the thread allocating it. Can for example be used to verify that an

keeping all returned heap memory in the 0xdeadbeef state (including the
first sizeof(void *) bytes otherwise for the free list). While wasting a lot
of memory it allows you to rely on 0xdeadbeef being always present as no
future allocation will reuse the freed memory block.
* Also added heap_debug_malloc_with_guard_page() which is intended to allocate
a memory block so it is aligned that the start of invalid memory past the
allocation is in an unmapped guard page. However the kernel backend that would
guarantee this is not yet implemented, so right now this works only by chance
if no other area happens to be allocated exactly past the created one. With a
very specifc suspicion you can put that one allocation you get to good use
though. It causes a crash when accessing memory past the allocation size so
you actually get a backtrace from where the access happened instead of only
after freeing/wall checking.

it has been unmapped. This way modified pages could end up in the "cached"
queue without having been written back. That would be a good explanation for
#5374 (partially wrong file contents) -- as soon as such a page was freed,
the invalid on-disk contents would become visible.

a copy of its structure. CachedNode is only used to write to the header, now.
This should cause the block_cache to no longer have any referenced blocks
outside of any I/O.

are now removed from the maps as soon as the client deletes them. This also
makes the "client reference" mechanism superfluous I introduced earlier.
* ServerApp::SetCurrentCursor() must always call Desktop::SetCursor(), since it
is also called whenever the current application changes. This fixes the cursor
almost never changing.
* Renamed ServerPicture::Usurp()/StepDown() to PushPicture(), and PopPicture().
* Also, they now acquire a reference to the picture in question (ie. the picture
you get from PopPicture() also owns a reference you need to free).
* ServerApp::CreatePicture() may fail, too. This case is now handled in the code
that calls it.
* Previously, the ServerWindow tried to process up to 70 messages in one go.
That obviously caused bug #4709. Now, we have the additional requirement to
not hold the desktop lock for longer than 25 ms. I haven't tested it with
Kaleidoscope yet, though.
